Kibana fails to start when using the Network Plugin

[ankitagarwal10k]

Hi,

I tried using the Kibana network plugin on my Ubuntu 18 version by downloading the latest version of the network plugin tar.gz file as the Kibana version on my system is 7.6
But when I start the Kibana service - it fails with the below mentioned error in the logs:

**> FATAL Error: Optimizations failure.

ERROR in ./plugins/network_vis/public/network_vis.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'ui/vis/vis_factory' in '/usr/share/kibana/plugins/network_vis/public'

I am unable to get a proper resolution for it from anywhere on the google or the digitalocean website.

Can anyone help me here with this issue ? How can this be resolved and what changes will I have to make?

[dlumbrer]

Could you try using the code from the 7-dev branch? thanks!

[ankitagarwal10k]

I tried with that as well and still got the same issue.
Is there any kind of changes which I am supposed to do in the files?
I even tried by the git clone way of installing the plugin but unlucky

[StuartSmith21]

I've also tried running the 7-dev release (and tried the git clone method) with the same error. Running on Windows 10, Kibana 7.6.0.

Got the same error with docker.

@dlumbrer
Any update if we could get a fix for it ?
As I have to use it for one of the project requirement and can only be worked with the Network Plugin.
Please respond ASAP.

Thanks,

Hey @ankitagarwal10k , @StanGirard , @StuartSmith21 , did you get a work around this issue?

Working with a PATCH on #83 fixed it for me. Try this !

[ankitagarwal10k]

I tried the patch on the windows system but after the checkout step nothing worked for me.

[pchakour]

It's weird ! May be we can help you with the patch installation. After the checkout step you have to apply the patch with the git command.

Did you have an error with this step ? Could you give us more details ?
